The Duke Blue Devils begin Friday's NCAA tournament action in Philadelphia when they tip off with Albany at 11:15 a.m. CT in a second-round Midwest Region matchup. No. 2 Duke will look to avoid another loss to a No. 15 team. The Blue Devils lost to No. 15 Lehigh in the first round of last year's NCAA tournament.

Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City is home to the second game of the day, a West Region battle between No. 5 Wisconsin and No. 12 Mississippi.

The day will see 16 more games spread across four venues, including No. 10 Oklahoma. The Sooners take on No. 7 San Diego State for the South Region in Philadelphia. Tipoff is at 8:10 p.m.

When all is said and done Friday night, we'll be left with 32 teams left with another chance at making it past the first weekend and into the Sweet 16.
